The UAW Financial Officers’ Conference will be held Sunday, March 24 through Friday, March 29, 2019, at the Buena Vista Palace Hotel in Orlando, Florida.

This conference is for local union presidents, financial secretaries/treasurers, trustees and recording secretaries. Local union bookkeepers may also attend. Local unions should plan on attending one of two sessions being offered:

Session 1 for LM 2 filers on March 25th – 28th

Session 2 for LM 3 & 4 filers on March 27th – 29th

Each session will give you step-by-step instructions for filing your LM and 990 forms. Participants will have an opportunity to have financial questions answered by International Staff, as well as, learn about any recent changes made by the UAW International Union, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Department of Labor.

For our public sector delegates, please register for Session 1 if you file IRS Form 990 or Session 2 if you file IRS Form 990EZ or 990N.

Delegates will attend two workshops. There will be eight workshops offered so training can be interest specific. Workshop descriptions can be found online when you register.

All approved software providers will be in attendance. If your LM forms validate, LM’s may be filed electronically at the conference.

Conference capacity is limited. Local unions responding early with completed registration form and non-refundable fee will have the best chance of being placed in their workshops of choice before capacity is reached. The pricing and details for each session are listed below:
